6 Claims.

This invention relates to syringe sets, and particularly, to means for carrying on the syringe bag the spare nozzles or pipes comprised in such sets, and has for an object the provision of a new and improved article of this character.

In the drawing accompanying this specification and forming a part of this application I have shown, for purposes of illustration, one embodiment which my invention may assume, and in the drawing:

Figure 1 is a side View of this embodiment, partly in elevation and partly in section, while Figure 2 is a horizontal sectional view corresponding substantially to the line 22 of Figure 1.

The embodiment of the invention herein disclosed comprises a syringe bag l0 (not completely shown) as used in connection with a fountain syringe or the like, as is well-known in the art,

and comprising integral front and rear walls H and I2 restricted as indicated at [3 to form an elliptical mouth l4 beyond which the rear wall I2 is continued to provide a perforated ear portion l5 by which the device may be suspended.

Disposed at the ends I6 of the mouth M are clamps l'l formed of resilient rubber and each having resilient jaws I8 and I9 cooperating to resiliently retain a nozzle 20 therebetween, and to support the walls II and I2 forming the elliptical mouth 14. The jaw I8 is slightly larger than the jaw l9, and is cemented to the back wall l2 of the receptacle l0, while the jaw I9 is free, to prevent injury upon stretching of the receptacle. Each clamp I! has a depressed seat 2| into which the shank portion 22 of the nozzle 20is adapted to rest while the jaws I8 and I9 detachably embrace the reduced portion 23 of the nozzle 20.

The nozzles 20 when so secured in the receptacle ID are disposed substantially out of sight and accordingly do not detract from the appearance of the bag. On the other hand, they are mounted within the bag, and therefore will not be mis laid. Not more than one of the several nozzles usually supplied with a fountain syringe can at any given time be operatively secured to the syringe and accordingly the others, unattached, are eas- 50 ily misplaced or lost, or in any event, are not at hand when needed.

My. invention corrects this by providing the clamps H on the bag If], so that the spare nozzles can be detachably secured directly to the 55 receptacle l0 itself, and therefore will not be misplaced or lost, and consequently, will always be at hand when needed.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the embodiment herein disclosed accomplishes at least the principal object of the inven- 5 tion, and that the construction is adaptable to a wide variety of uses, and embodies advantages other than those herein disclosed, and also that the embodiment may be variously changed and modified without departing from the spirit or 10 scope of the invention, and accordingly it will be understood that the above disclosure is illustrative only, and that my invention is not limited thereto.

I claim: 1

1. A syringe set, comprising: a syringe bag for containing fluid, and adapted to communicate with a discharge tube; a discharge nozzle adapted to be connected to the discharge end of said discharge tube; and a nozzle support secured interi- 20 orly of said bag and including a portion fixed to one wall of said bag, and a curved resilient portion free of said bag, said support being operable to clamp said nozzle to support the same substantially within said bag. 25

2. A syringe set, comprising: a syringe bag for containing fluid and adapted to communicate with a discharge tube; a discharge nozzle adapted to be connected to the discharge end of said discharge tube; and a nozzle support secured 30 interiorly of said bag and including a portion fixed to one wall of said bag, and a curved resilient portion free of said bag, said support being operable to clamp said nozzle to support the same substantially within said bag, said support 35 being constructed and positioned to hold the mouth of said bag distended.

3. A syringe set, comprising: a syringe bag of collapsible material, for containing fluid, and adapted to communicate with a discharge tube; a discharge nozzle adapted to be connected to the discharge end of said discharge tube; and a nozzle support secured interiorly of said bag and adjacent to the mouth of said bag, and having means operable to support said nozzle substantially within said bag, but in a position accessible at the mouth of said bag for convenient removal, said support having means extending between the Walls of said bag at the mouth thereof, and serving to hold the mouth of said bag distended.

4. A syringe bag of flexible material having a collapsible mouth through which said bag may be supplied with liquid, said bag being usable with detachable nozzle discharge means; and supporting means for said nozzle discharge means,

said supporting means extending into the mouth of said bag and operable to hold the mouth of said bag at least partly open, and to support said nozzle discharge means in a position as to be substantially concealed within said bag when not in use.

5. A syringe bag of flexible material having a collapsible -mouth through which said bag may be supplied with liquid, said bag being usable with detachable nozzle discharge means; and supporting means for said nozzle discharge means,

said supporting means extending into the mouth of said bag and operable to hold the mouth of said bag at least partly open, and to support said nozzle discharge means in a position as to be substantially concealed within said bag when not in use, said supporting means being constructed and arranged tohold the mouth of said bag partly open even though no nozzle discharge means are present therein.

6. A syringe bag of flexible material having a collapsible mouth through which said bag may be supplied with liquid, said bag being usable with a plurality of different sized detachable nozzle discharge means; and a plurality of different sized supporting means for said nozzle discharge means, said supporting means being spaced along the mouth of said bag, and extending into said mouth, and constructed and arranged to hold the mouth of said bag at least partly open throughout its extent, and operable to support said one or more of said nozzle discharge means in a position to be substantially concealed within said bag when not in use.
